Step 1 of 26

Place the largest tag die, from the Tagged Creative Die set, on to the top corner of the black card, and run through your embossing machine. 

Set the rest of the black card to one side for later. 

Step 2 of 26

Cut off the spine, as shown here. 

Set to one side. 

Step 3 of 26

Tear this decorative paper out of the Time To Grow A4 Paper Pad. 

Place the tag die, that measures approx 6 1/4 x 3 1/4", on to the decorative paper, and run through your die cutting machine. 

Step 4 of 26

Place the circle die, from the Deboss Nesting Dies set, that measures approx 2 1/2" in diameter, in the centre of the decorative tag, and run through your embossing machine. 

Step 5 of 26

Blend the Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide, around the edges of your die cut tag. 

Step 6 of 26

Use a black pen to draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around your die cut tag. 

Step 7 of 26

Apply red liner tape on the back of the tag, across the top, bottom, and right hand side, as shown here. 

Step 8 of 26

Adhere the decorative tag on to your die cut black tag, to create a pocket. 

Set to one side. 

Step 9 of 26

Cut a piece of black card, from the card you set aside earlier, 2 1/2 x 1 1/2" 

Use the Banner Tag Punch on one end, as shown here.  

Step 10 of 26

Place a tag die, measuring approx 5 1/2 x 2 3/4", on to the black card you set aside, and run through your die cutting machine. 

Step 11 of 26

Adhere the puched banner tag centrally, on to the die cut black tag, as shown here. 

Set to one side. 

Step 12 of 26

Tear out this decorative paper, from the Time To Grow 6 x 6" Paper Pad.

Place the tag die, that measures 5 1/2 x 2 3/4", on to the paper, and run through your die cutting machine. 

Put the remainder of the paper to one side, for a later step. 

Ink around the edges with your Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide. 

 

Step 13 of 26

Ink up the Script Stamp set with the Onyx Black Versafine, and stamp randomly on to your die cut paper tag. 

Step 14 of 26

Use a black pen to draw a decorative frame, around your tag. 

Step 15 of 26

Adhere on to the front of your die cut black tag, so the "pull out" tag is on the right hand side, as shown here. 

 

Step 16 of 26

Ink up the Imala Destiny Stamp set with the Onyx Black Versafine, and stamp off the top right of the tag. 

Set to one side.  

Step 17 of 26

Using the same size tag die, cut another tag, from the decorative striped paper you set aside earlier. 

Ink around the edges with the Distress Oxide. 

Step 18 of 26

Ink up Imala Destiny with the Versafine, and stamp off the top right hand side of the tag. 

Step 19 of 26

Ink it up again and stamp the "Dreams" script section of the stamp, on to the bottom right of the tag. 

Step 20 of 26

Use a black pen to draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around the tag. 

Step 21 of 26

Adhere on to the other side of your decorative tag.

Set to one side.  

Step 22 of 26

Draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around your white, top folding card blank. 

Step 23 of 26

Adhere this on to the front of your card blank. 

You can pop the decorative tag inside, to help you decide how you want your tag to be placed...I went for jaunty! 

Step 24 of 26

Cut out a few of the butterflies from the 4 x 4" Time To Grow Paper Pad. 

Step 25 of 26

Adhere the butterflies where required. 

I took out the inner tag whilst doing this, so I didn't accidentally glue anything on to it! 

Step 26 of 26

Add some glitter where required, to finish your card. I added it to the centre of the floral images on the paper, and on my butterflies. 

You made it!
